The 2024 MMR Dealers’ Choice Awards (DCA) nomination form is now live!
Anyone in MI is eligible to suggest products, companies, and instruments for nomination in the 2024 DCA ballot — you can nominate your favorite guitars, mixers, cases, trumpets, audio interfaces, et cetera, whether you’re an active MMR subscriber or not (although why on earth *wouldn’t* you be? It’s free to all qualified folks in the industry, after all!) and you can vote for your choices as often as you please! If you’re an MI supplier and feel your new product or instrument is especially deserving of attention, get all your employees and your entire dealer network to nominate you!
Important reminder about the DCA categories:
- If the category contains the word, “Line,” such as “Band & Orchestra Line of the Year,” then we’re only looking for a brand name (line) — not a specific instrument model.
- If the category doesn’t contain the word, “Line,” such as “Electric Guitar of the Year,” then we ARE looking for a specific model.
In October, the actual DCA ballot will go live. During voting for the ultimate winners of this now 32-year old(!) annual celebration of the best in MI, only active subscribers to MMR are eligible to vote, but for the three-month-long nomination process, it’s open season, so: let your voice be heard by clicking here!
The online DCA nomination form will be live until 5pm ET on September 13. The final nominees across all categories will be announced at 9am ET on October 1. Voting for the ultimate Dealers’ Choice Award winners (only open to current MMR subscribers) will remain open until 5pm ET on November 22.
